This is an intriguing, sad, sad story of human stupidity, greed, disrespect of life, corruption and lots of red herrings:
The passing of the Romanovs.
As already started in...
Mother of Nicholas II to be buried in St Petersburg

...I got a lot of response from readers - so let's dig a little deeper in this subject. As this is RUMORmill - what could be more suitable than to march around in the fields of 'highconspiracy' in times, when Orthodox belief seems to be celebrating a revival although rather mirrored in the MEDEA. And believe me - this HISstory about the ROMANOVS, the family of Russia's 'last' emperor - the Tsar - looks rather important 'these days. Almost looks to me that SOMEONE wants to rewake 'old spirits' of belief suitable for Russia 'new path'...
One reader (thank you!) informed me of an article from Sherman H. Skolnick on http://www.skolnicksreport.com/great_secrets.html where Skolnick states:
... By 1970, documents were being released by the British, after more than 50 years of suppression, showing the British monarchy, cousins of the Czar, secretly with U.S.aid rescued the Czar and his family. So to perpetuate the big lie of royal murder, the Rockefellers financed an elaborate movie "Nicholas and Alexandra" which in its final scenes shows the alleged assassination by the Bolsheviks of the Czar and his family in Siberia....
Now that seems to be something of more weight than the repeated claims of 'over 21 Anastasias' (Nichola II's daughter) having survived the alleged 'slaughter' in the Siberian city of Yekaterinburg in 1918. Skolnick continues his amazing theory...
... The Rockefeller banks, Chicago and New York, had the PRIVATE fortune on deposit of the Romanov family, separate from Nicholas's government position as Czar of all the Russias. This consisted of 400 million dollars in gold, at the then price of 20 dollars per ounce. Declaring the Czar and his family falsely dead enabled the Rockefeller bankers to spread out their empire using the fraudulent bankers' use of fractional reserves. Through secret accounts, the Rockefellers for decades thereafter rolled over these funds, to their benefit, in violation of state escheat laws providing that bank accounts revert to the State government if not claimed after, in most states, seven years.....
When that kind of money is involved, clearly everyone claims to be the Tsar or his offspring - BUT - it is amazing that even till today there are so many discrepancies left unanswered. Oh, clearly - it's not only money - but more the fact that there are lots of 'insiders' including even states who could lose a lot of priceless 'reputation' if the truth should come out - what happened way back from 1918 on.
To get a little picture of the manifold of interests involved, of all the personal smallminded greed and intrigues spun on that topic I suggest you to read this wonderful essay of bestseller author Peter Kurth, published 1993 in Vanity Fair:
http://www.peterkurth.com
(Go to "THE MYSTERY OF THE ROMANOV BONES")
There are even more articles about the Romanovs to be found on his site.
These research may give you a hint of what's happened then as more as an interesting insight in 'high politics' of the 20th century. Moreover it may show you how public oppinion was steered at former times, when it was a lot easier (and more affordable) to manipulate history than today... -Did I hear you laughing right her??? - OK, but it was less expensive anyhow...
When you read the story please note HOW and WHEN it would have been possible to influence the outcomes of the 'investigations' - especially the 'call for US forensic experts', when there were enough forensic capacities around in Russia available...
For making a bridge to recent history I'd like you to watch certain figures and dates - as - there were only 9 skeletons in the grave, not the 11 there should have been if the whole imperial family and their four servants had been counted...
To close with Kurth's words:
"People are sorry," she [Radzinsky] said, "that the family had to suffer such a terrible fate. They wish it hadn't happened.” In The Russian Revolution, Richard Pipes names July 16, 1918, as the moment the 20th century made a turn toward genocide, when "millions of nameless beings" were placed on a list of expendables and the world entered "an entirely new moral realm.” If the trend today is back to humanity, it's Russia's experience that leads the way. It's the last legacy of the last Tsar -- the image of Anastasia and Alexei, holding hands, as it were, over Russia's history: an enigma, a "discrepancy," the emblem of a century’s pain.
Looks like we're experiencing a replay on that 'discrepancy' and that 'pain' right now...
